The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Patuxent River, MD intends to negotiate and award a sole source modification to Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Contract N00019-13-D-0016 with Insitu Inc., 118 E. Columbia River Way, Bingen WA, to incorporate Fiscal Year 2018 (FY18) pricing and extend the IDIQ ordering period for a period of one year, revising the ordering period from four years to five years. The modification will allow for the procurement of ScanEagle hardware and services necessary to sustain and support previously procured ScanEagle Unmanned Aviation Systems (UASs) for NSW Forces. The hardware and services include replacement of air vehicles, spare and consumable parts, training, and in-theatre Field Service Representatives (FSR's) to supplement Navy Operations. The modification will extend the period of performance through FY18 increasing the ceiling value of the IDIQ from $350,000,000 to $450,000,000. Additionally, the modification will incorporate FY18 pricing for NSW hardware and services. This modification will allow continuity of support of the NSW ScanEagle mission and operational needs of the NSW Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) and prepare for subsequent contracting actions to facilitate the transitions to Multi-Mission Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (MRUAS) Program of Record.
